What does "sailing group trip" mean?
A sailing group trip differs from individual trips and other group travel forms by focusing on the shared experience and interaction on board. It's about sailing together, laughing, and sharing unforgettable moments. Unlike conventional package holidays, on a sailing group trip, you have the freedom to determine your own route and discover the hidden treasures of the coasts. At GoTuro, we emphasize that you feel at home on board and can tailor the journey to your wishes.
Why sailing is ideal for groups
Sailing is ideal for groups because it promotes teambuilding and social interaction. On board a sailing ship, everyone is required to work together and support each other. Whether setting the sails, navigating, or preparing meals – every task helps strengthen the team spirit and improve communication. Shared challenges and successes create unforgettable memories and connect the group in a special way. Our group trips are designed to maximize these positive effects and offer you an unforgettable experience.
Moreover, a sailing group trip offers a high degree of flexibility and customization. At GoTuro, we adapt the route and activities to suit your group. Whether you're planning a relaxed sailing trip with family, a dynamic teambuilding event with colleagues, or an adventurous journey with friends – we have the right offer for you. We cater to different levels of difficulty and experience, ensuring every participant gets the most out of the trip. Let us create your dream journey together!
Who are sailing group trips particularly suitable for?
A group sailing trip is not only an unforgettable experience but also an ideal option for various audiences and occasions. Whether it's families, friends, companies, or clubs – the possibilities are diverse. At GoTuro, you will find the right offer tailored to your individual needs and wishes. We offer you customised sailing tours that are tailored to your group. Discover the benefits of a group sailing trip and let us inspire you.
Families and Friends
For families and friends, we offer relaxed sailing tours for all ages. We place great emphasis on safety aspects and child-friendly routes. Our experienced skippers ensure that you feel safe and comfortable on board. We combine sailing with relaxing swimming stops and exciting shore excursions. This way, you can experience unforgettable moments together and enjoy the beauty of the coasts. Our family trips are designed to give you a stress-free and relaxing time.
Some providers, like Sail the Blue, offer catamarans known for their stability and comfort. This reduces the risk of seasickness and makes them ideal for groups with less experience. In contrast, sailing yachts offer a more authentic and action-packed experience, particularly appealing to adventurous groups. Choosing the right type of vessel is crucial to the success of your group sailing trip.
Corporate Events and Team Building
Sailing as an incentive and for strengthening team spirit is an excellent way to motivate your employees and foster cohesion. We offer you professional organisation and support tailored to your individual needs. Upon request, we integrate special team-building activities that improve collaboration and communication. A sailing trip is a welcome change from the work routine and creates unforgettable experiences that sustainably connect the team.

Clubs and Associations
For clubs and associations, we offer individual sailing trips for members. We create special offers and discounts tailored to your group's needs. We consider the group's interests and adjust the route and activities accordingly.

Our club trips are designed to provide you with an unforgettable experience and to strengthen the cohesion of your members.

At GoTuro, we help you find the perfect route for your sailing group trip.
Baltic Sea
The Baltic Sea is an attractive alternative for sailing group trips, especially for groups from Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. Its proximity, easy access, and calm waters make it an ideal destination for a relaxing sailing tour. Popular routes include the island of Rügen, the Danish South Sea, and the Swedish archipelagos. TSC offers sailing trips on the Baltic Sea and rents out entire ships for groups. The Baltic Sea captivates with its unspoilt nature, picturesque coastal towns, and diverse water sports opportunities.

Netherlands (Ijsselmeer, Wadden Sea, Markermeer)
The Netherlands is a unique destination for sailing group trips, particularly the Ijsselmeer, the Wadden Sea, and the Markermeer. Here, you can sail on traditional sailing ships and enjoy the unique nature. The Wadden Sea is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers an impressive variety of flora and fauna. Holland Sail offers sailing trips on the Markermeer, the Ijsselmeer, the Wadden Sea, and the Frisian lakes. The shallow waters and historic harbours make sailing in the Netherlands a special experience.
A special highlight is sailing with a traditional clipper or tjalk, specially built for the shallow waters of the Netherlands. These ships offer plenty of space and comfort and are ideal for sailing group trips. At GoTuro, you will find the right ship for your group to explore the beauty of the Dutch coast together.
Exotic Destinations
For adventurous groups, we also offer sailing group trips to exotic destinations such as Thailand. Here you can embrace new cultures and enjoy the tropical climate.

Optimal Comfort: How to Choose the Right Type of Ship for Your Group

We take into account your individual wishes and preferences to create a tailor-made offer. Discover the different types of vessels and find the perfect ship for your sailing group tour.
Sailing Yachts (Monohulls)
Sailing yachts offer a classic sailing experience and are particularly suitable for sporty groups. They are distinguished by their agility and the authentic sailing feeling. However, they offer less space and are more prone to heeling than catamarans. Sunsail offers, for instance, a variety of sailing yachts with up to five cabins, accommodating up to 12 people. If you're seeking a sporty sailing experience and value an authentic sailing feeling, a sailing yacht is the right choice.
A special highlight is actively participating in sailing, where you can set the sails, take charge of navigation, and steer the ship. This fosters team spirit and provides unforgettable experiences. At GoTuro, you'll find the right sailing yacht for your group and can fully enjoy the sailing experience.
Catamarans
Catamarans offer a high degree of comfort and stability and are especially suitable for relaxed cruises. They are characterised by ample space, minimal heeling, and high stability. This makes them ideal for families and groups with less sailing experience. However, catamarans are generally more expensive than sailing yachts and less agile. Sail the Blue particularly recommends catamarans for groups seeking relaxation and comfort while minimising the risk of seasickness.
A special highlight is the large living area and spacious cabins, providing plenty of room for relaxation and privacy. The reduced risk of seasickness also makes catamarans an ideal choice for families and groups with less sailing experience. At GoTuro, you'll find the perfect catamaran for your group and can enjoy a relaxed and comfortable sailing cruise.
Traditional Sailing Vessels (Clippers, Tjalks, Schooners)
Traditional sailing ships like clippers, tjalks, and schooners offer a historic atmosphere and a special experience. They are distinguished by their unique charm, ample space, and high team-building potential. However, they offer less comfort and require more demanding sailing. Frisian Sailing offers, for instance, a variety of traditional sailing ships for group tours on the IJsselmeer, the Wadden Sea, and Friese inland waters.
A special highlight is sailing with a historic ship that has a long tradition and conveys a special atmosphere. The communal sailing and teamwork on board also foster team spirit and provide unforgettable experiences. At GoTuro, you'll find the right traditional sailing ship for your group and can experience an unforgettable sailing adventure.
Equipment and Amenities
The equipment and amenities on board are crucial for the comfort of your sailing group tour. Pay attention to adequate cabins, clean sanitary facilities, a functional kitchen, and entertainment options. Important factors are comfort, functionality, and hygiene. Some providers also offer options like full board, catering, and an experienced skipper. At GoTuro, we are happy to advise you on selecting the right equipment and amenities for your group.

Onboard Process
The onboard process should be well organised to ensure a smooth sailing group trip.

The allocation of tasks on board should also be clearly defined so everyone knows what to do. Sailwithus highlights the skipper's role as a safety measure for beginners and as a friendly guide.
